Sino-US tiff: War of the rappers!

A Headline Poser

ST, Sept 17

Is this a witty headline? Indeed it is. It effectively plays on how whisky sales to Singapore are not likely to be affected if the "YES" voters win the day.

But it is also an inaccurate headline. "Scotland splits" means that; it does not mean Scotland splitting from the United Kingdom. Pity. It could have been a great headline.
